The Upper School Black Lives Matter club, advised by Mr. Torrence and led by senior Zoe Edelman and junior Nia Matthews-Cox, highlighted Black History this week with various activities devoted to African American leaders and writers. On Monday, the club honored Langston Hughes with a reading of his poem “Dreams” in the Daily Bulletin. On Tuesday, the club invited middle schoolers to join the club on Tuesday for a special presentation on activism. The club encouraged students to utilize social media and conversations with friends to highlight African American figures in politics, history, activism, art, and literature and to wear black on Friday as a symbol of solidarity. The middle school will have an assembly February 24th focused on Black History month, and students may submit photography, poetry, art, essays, or other artifacts to share at the assembly with Ms. Bradley.
